Since the inception of Paradise Found, this great clothing company had been just a small shirt company making locally inspired Hawaiian themed apparel. Then, in the early 1980's, fate, or destiny struck. A local television production company was looking for apparel to help theme their new Hawaii based TV series. One of the actors was immediately drawn to a company favorite, "Jungle Bird".

Jungle Bird, was made famous by Tom Selleck, in the 1980's Hawaiian detective television series, Magnum P.I.. Suddenly, the huge success of this great TV show caused people everywhere to want to look like the handsome Tom Selleck. The women wanted to date him, the men wanted to look like him. The show continues it's popularity into this century through reruns and DVD's. The Original Magnum P.I. Jungle Bird shirt worn by Selleck was donated to the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, where it is currently on display.

All of this popularity launched Paradise Found to the forefront of popular designers of fine Hawaiian wear. They have continued to expand the offerings and today have one of the largest catalogs of available prints.
